Morocco in Bloom is a celebration of the beauty and richness of Moroccan flora. Author Giuppi Pietromarchi shares her deep-rooted passion for the designs and plants of the contemporary Moroccan garden. The famous Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech features extensively, its rich palatte of dazzling flowers and deep Majorelle Blue illustrated with a magnificent array of photographs. The garden was rediscovered and restored by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Berge. Legend tells us that the first garden was born at the foot of a tree. As a mark of respect, the area around it was swept, and so it became sacred. Gardens – places where nature is imitated and ordered by human intervention – have been a part of history since the days of ancient Mesopotamia. Harmony is the key component, and this book invokes this harmony on every page.

Illustrated with a magnificent array of photos and antique botanical prints, Morocco in Bloom is more than just a celebration of Moroccan flora. It is also a practical manual, dedicated to the cultivation, creation and maintenance of southern Mediterranean gardens. The author’s words will resonate with any garden lover based in the broader Mediterranean Basin, from Spain to Greece, Provence to Tunisia. The book has been composed in the style of an almanac, guiding the reader through the year month by month. Each chapter provides vital advice on how to plant, prune and care for the most beautiful and rare plants in the Mediterranean climate region.

- A beautifully illustrated reference book for any gardener working in the Mediterranean climate
- Intersperses important tips on plant care and garden design with stunning photography
- Laid out in an accessible month-by-month 'almanac' style
- Featuring the famous Jardin Majorelle in Marrakech, the garden was rediscovered and restored by Yves Saint-Laurent and Pierre Berge

About the Author:

Giuppi Petromarchi is a renowned Italian landscape designer, a specialist in Mediterranean botany and the creator of numerous gardens in Tuscany and elsewhere. She has authored many books on the history of Italian gardens and on Mediterranean flora, including the lauded botanical text for The Gardens of Ninfa, and has also regularly contributed articles to gardening magazines. From 1986-1989 she lived in Rabat, where her husband was the Italian Ambassador to Morocco. It was then that she discovered the rich beauty of the Moroccan garden. Giulio Pietromarchi began his work as an assistant photographer in Rome, aged 16. That year he met Niki de Saint Phalle, who, having seen his work, asked him to document her Tarot Garden in Tuscany. His photographs span the 27 years it took to realise the project. Their long collaboration led him to document the artist's work around the world, resulting in many publications. He began his film career in 1983 as a director of photography. His filmography includes more than sixty films and documentaries.

The life of America’s most beloved artist, in his own words — back in print with restored text and drawings, new illustrations, and more.

The wit, humanity, and many-sided talent of Norman Rockwell (1894-1978) are on full display in his classic autobiography. Rockwell’s New York City boyhood, his apprentice days at the Art Students League, his first fateful visit to the Saturday Evening Post, his adventures abroad, his move to rural Vermont – all are recounted with a mix of sharp observation and self-deprecating humor. Throughout Rockwell invites the reader into his artistic process: he introduces his favourite models, candidly reveals his biggest flops, and documents the creation of a Post cover step by step.

This Definitive Edition restores the original 1960 text of My Adventures as an Illustrator, as well as the playful vignettes that Rockwell drew to head each chapter. Thanks to a massive image digitisation effort undertaken by the Norman Rockwell Museum, it is also illustrated with more than 150 of Rockwell’s paintings and drawings, many of which highlight lesser-known aspects of his work. A new introduction by the artist’s granddaughter Abigail Rockwell adds reference value, as do an illustrated chronology and an annotated bibliography prepared by the staff of the Norman Rockwell Museum.

This attractive volume will be the essential source on the life of Norman Rockwell, and delightful reading for anyone who enjoys his art. Plus, its publication coincided with a major exhibition at the Norman Rockwell Museum in 2019 concerning the autobiographical elements in the artist’s work (Norman Rockwell: Private Moments for the Masses).

A large-format book that uncovers the secrets behind Nendo’s unique creative process

He named his firm ‘Nendo’, the Japanese word for modelling clay; he uses manga-like sketches to illustrate his design concepts; and he creates some of the most imaginative furniture in the world: he is Oki Sato, one of Japan’s most prolific designers. At any given moment, he has hundreds of projects in the works – architecture, interiors, furniture, tableware, and more. ‘There is nothing I would not design,’ says Sato.

Sato renders his designs with remarkable conceptual clarity. At the outset, he allows his imagination to run wild and then documents his idea with a simple black line drawing – be it a bathroom basin defined by a single, ceramic swirl or a pair of wooden chopsticks that twist together to become one. These 2D images are converted into minimal 3D shapes described with clean outlines and a largely monochrome palette. Like a traditional Japanese ink painting, which constructs an image with just a few brush strokes, Sato extracts the unnecessary and eliminates distraction.

Featuring Sato’s original sketches, full-scale product images and explanatory texts, nendo uncovers and unpicks the designer’s unique creative process, guiding the reader step-by-step through his innovative and playful world to reveal the secrets behind fifty of his inimitable works.

About the Author:

Oki Sato is founder of the multi-award-winning Japanese design firm Nendo. Geneviève Gallot is former director of the Institut national du patrimoine and of the École nationale supérieure des arts décoratifs.

New Folk Art — це барвиста колекція творів з усього світу, які базуються на стародавньому фольклорі та традиційних промислах і вдихають нове життя в казки, які передавалися з покоління в покоління.

Людині властиво дивитися в минуле, шукаючи натхнення, особливо в мистецтві. На відміну від інших жанрів, які можна віднести до певної епохи чи стилю, народне мистецтво важче визначити або класифікувати через його особливе місце в серцях місцевих громад. Хоча раніше він створювався для практичних цілей, кожен твір розповідає історію культурної спадщини та майстерності, яка виходить за межі часу, щоб надихнути творців сучасності.

New Folk Art представляє яскраву колекцію творів з усього світу, які беруть участь у стародавньому фольклорі та традиційних ремеслах і вдихають нове життя в казки, які передавалися з покоління в покоління.

As most of central London closes down late at night and the crowds head home, there are a select few who come out only after midnight. These ‘Night Flowers’, as they refer to themselves, encompass a loose-knit community of drag kings and queens, club kids, Goths, alternative queer and transgender people, fetishists, and cabaret and burlesque performers – all of whom bloom late at night and burn brightly under the city’s neon lights. Damien Frost’s arresting photographic portraits capture those who dwell on the fringes of nightlife in modern London, dressing in all manner of guises.

The portraits are the result of a project begun by Frost in 2014, when he went out every night to wander the city streets in search of its most colourful inhabitants. There he first came across the world of the Night Flowers and started documenting their wild looks and vivid creative expression.

Although traditional in style, for the most part the photographs were taken as incidental portraits after chance encounters on the street, down dark alleys or backstage in a club; the poise and grace of the subjects belie the quizzical looks, negative comments or even taunts thrown at the sitters by passers-by. Frost’s background in opera and theatre gave him a deep appreciation of the intricate details of the make-up and costumes, and of the many hours of preparation that it takes for each Night Flower to turn him- or herself into an ephemeral work of art. The resulting book is an extraordinary and powerful document of the ultimate alternative street style.

- Features over 300 dramatic portraits of those who inhabit the alternative nightlife scene in London, from drag queens to Goths
- Will appeal to anyone interested in fashion, street style and contemporary subcultures
- Damien Frost has more than 85,000 followers on Instagram+

The first book on Nike's iconic DUNK SB, a mid-rise basketball court staple that has in the last two decades become a colorful (and often irreverent) icon of skate and streetwear.

Created in 2002, the Nike Dunk was adopted from the court by skateboarders and sneakerheads to become an icon of the streets. An early catalyst to evolving sneaker culture as we know it today, the Nike Dunk has enjoyed a storied legacy of reinvention through numerous iterations and creative collaborations proving to be an integral part of a culture obsessed with sneakers. To celebrate this legacy, Nike SB: The Dunk Book is the first book to present the historical archive of one of the most important shoes ever created. Worn by an ever-growing list of elite riders at competitions all over the world, Nike Dunks are prized as much for their funky, one-of-a-kind designs as well as their high performance.

Nike SB: The Dunk Book is filled with stunning images that tell the visual story of Nike SB's most iconic styles. Including Danny Supas, Staple Pigeon Dunks, De La Soul Highs, Paris Dunks, U.N.K.L.Es, and Supreme Dunk SBs, this volume flaunts the signature color-ways and craftsmanship that Nike SBs are known for.

Through enlightening anecdotes by the likes of Futura and Paul Rodriguez, readers get intimate accounts of how their favorite sneakers came to be. Also featured are archival images of Nike SB's most recognizable skaters rocking the iconic sneakers, including Eric Koston, Richard Mulder, Grant Taylor, Omar Salazar, Reese Forbes, Brian Anderson, Theotis Beasley, and Daniel Shimizu.

У Nike бажання бути найкращим – це подорож, а не пункт призначення – краще завжди тимчасово.

Phaidon вшановує вплив компанії в Nike: Better is Temporary, знаковій публікації, яка описує трансформацію Nike із непокірного вискочки до глобального явища.

Це захоплююче візуальне дослідження пропонує безпрецедентне закулісне дослідження формули дизайну Nike, що керується духом, розміщуючи інновації, що визначають галузь, і всесвітньо визнані продукти разом із раніше непублікованим дизайном, прототипами, інсайдерськими історіями тощо.

Починаючи зі вступу «Breaking2», у якому детально описується спроба Nike у 2017 році організувати марафон, який тривав менше двох годин, у п’яти тематичних розділах книги викладено акценти Nike на продуктивності, вираженні бренду, співпраці, інклюзивному дизайні та екологічності.

Надзвичайний дизайн книги також підкреслює її зміст. Вражаюча обкладинка містить накладені один на одного шари фірмового жовтого кольору Volt Yellow і Hyperpunch рожевого кольору Nike із шовкографією, на якому зображено чемпіона світу з марафону Еліуда Кіпчоге, надруковане напівтоновим точковим візерунком. Корінець книги, який видно крізь прозору оболонку, демонструє серію кольорових вкладок, які виходять із внутрішніх сторінок і на які посилаються в додатковому розділі книги «Створення кольору».

Поєднуючи 500 кольорових ілюстрацій з історіями, думками, знаннями, пристрастю та історією, якою ділиться чудова команда Nike, Nike: Better is Temporary стане посібником для інновацій та натхненням для майбутніх поколінь.
